Today's piece is called Mother's Soul, it is acrylic on bristol board, 5"x7".The sketch for this painting was actually done earlier in the week. And to be honest I wasn't sure if I was going to do it as a pastel or as a painting. However, since my daughter was out for the day I opted to paint.
The colors are earthy since that is how I am feeling today. It did feel a bit strange not to use blue or red since I normally favor those colors but today was about green, brown, orange, yellow. I even used unbleached white since it is softer than regular white. I did not fight with the colors and only had one section that I was concerned about the effect. But I let it be for awhile as I worked on other sections. Then slowly everything came together and when I looked at the painting it seemed to have a light radiating from its core, hence the title.
